My dad 68.

My mum - she would have been 89. She was born on Derby Day and narrowly escaped being named Cameronian after the Derby winner.

Irene Triplett is, how you say, no longer drawing that pension...or breath. By which I mean she's dead: https://www.wsj.com/articles/last-person-to-receive-a-civil-war-era-pension-dies-11591141193

I'm pretty sure I remember him riding as an amateur in NH races. Yes, here he is. https://sites.google.com/site/jockeypedia5/pigott-brown-william Won't be surprised if he gets a QO.

Look, if you think that white people being killed by the police is comparable to what's systematically happened to black people in America at the hands of the police, I don't know what we're doing here. Of course there are going to be instances of white people being screwed over as well. It's not literally a 100% thing that only happens to black people. But you're engaging in some intellectual dishonesty right now.

I saw the whole video of George Floyds arrest some days ago, hard to watch it. one of his last words he called out to his Mom .... who died two years ago on this same day. He was Handcuffed. Face Down. Knee on his neck. They did nothing. He called the officer "Sir." They did nothing. He begged for his life. He begged for water. He begged for mercy. They did nothing. His nose bled. His body trembled. He lost control of his bladder. They did nothing. He cried out, "I can't breathe." They did nothing. Twelve more times. "I can't breathe." "I can't breathe." "I can't breathe." "I can't breathe." "I can't breathe." "I can't breathe." "I can't breathe." "I can't breathe." "I can't breathe." "I can't breathe." "I can't breathe." "I can't breathe." They did nothing. One last time, he gasped, "I can't breathe." They did nothing. He lost consciousness. They did nothing. A firefighter demanded they check his pulse. They did nothing. Off-duty medical personnel begged them to stop. They did nothing. Deprived of oxygen. His organs screaming. His brain frantic. They did nothing. They watched George Floyd die. His life fading. A slow death. They did nothing. A lynching on the ground. They did nothing. For eight agonising minutes. Four idiots officers watched. He cried out for his Mom... A grown man... Crying out for the woman who gave him life.... As he feared joining her in death. And still they did nothing. have these cops ever been trained how to handle a custody? such a shame that something like that can happen again and again in USA, country that is more and more turning to a "shit hole country" with a brain dead in white house.

DDT is the world's most famous farmer, and he already has his own thread

Sir Roger Penrose the esteemed mathematician will be 90 in 2021. Perhaps his number will be up.

By my calculation of the 22 oldest living MPs at the start of this year 8 have died which is quite a fast rate

For god sake Toast..... (Will not will not make a Willz would enjoy it from what I hear joke)

Death Notice for Sir William Pigott-Brown, 3rd Baronet: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/242202/pigott-brown-sir-william-bt Wiki (mention): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigott-Brown_baronets He succeeded to the baronetcy within his first two years of life and held it since 1942. According to various articles, he seems to have enjoyed gambling and the ladies and there's some indication he was a jockey at some point.There appears to be no heir to the baronetcy.

Of those Whig - William Henry Harrisson -Pneumonia Whig - Zachary Taylor - Gastroenteritis Republican - Abraham Lincoln - Assasinated Republican - James A.Garfield - Assisanated Republican - William McKinley - Assasinated Republican - Warren G.Harding - Heart Attack Democratic - Franklin D.Roosevelt - Stroke Democratic - John F. Kennedy - Assasinated That's 3-1 for Republicans on assisanations and a 4 / 2 / 2 split among parties on deaths, Donald Trump getting shot would given them a clear lead going into the start of the next match in November.

It’s been said before on here but 8 US Presidents have died in office out of 45. That’s 8 in 231 years. There have been 10 Presidents and 57 years since last death in office. It’s long overdue.....

I used to doubt. Now I honestly don’t know anymore... anyway it would make sense with my fantasy

Since that episode of the simpsons shows Trump dead after some racial protest, How long are you giving him before his murder ?

Well, yes.

We live in strange times. I cannot remember, in my lifetime, a more inept, corrupt, rancid, moral free government. It is difficult to comprehend just how fucking useless they have been, are and, in all probability, will be. They seem to be under the impression that they won the last election by a landslide when the reality is that Labour LOST by a landslide. Seriously, should we really be complaining about no more weekend updates? Do we really need to be spoon fed more bollocks and utter bullshit every sodding day? They are a bunch of fucking liars, utterly useless and have acted way too little and way too late. Cunts, total cunts.

Jesus Christ, you think American elections are free and fair and remotely democratic? Oh to be so ignorant. Protest should never be reserved solely for 'scheduled democracy', whilst the looting is wrong - the hundreds of thousands of American's who protest peacefully have the the right to protest peacefully at any time through mass gatherings - not just in a ballot box in an election where the loser wins. Hilary Clinton - 48.1% Donald Trump - 46.1% Hilary won the election....

I was more responding to this. If you think that people protesting the death of a black person at the hands of police is racist because the much rarer event of a white person dying at the hands of police didn't instigate protests is racist against white people on the part of the Black Lives Matter movement, then there's real nothing I can say that's admissible on this forum or would have any chance of getting through the pre-moderator protest to describe my thoughts on this matter beyond what I've said above......

While I don't agree with everything you're saying as it relates to the Democrats, of course I agree that all of the problems didn't start with Trump. In my view, my country jumped the proverbial shark a long time ago, and it's now becoming clear to most of the world. However, there is no question in my mind that Trump has essentially put more logs on the fire. He's exacerbated and accelerated everything.

The problems didn't start with Trump. The problems lead us to Trump. Because people felt like the system is broken, they voted for someone who claimed he'd look out for the American people. Now, he has used his power to frighten the American people. Trump is abysmal, but I also want to take a moment to criticize the opposition to Trump, as they did such a poor job from actually taking a stand against Trump. The thing they impeached him for was basically nothing compared to the crimes he's committing now. If the democrats actually had a backbone in them, they would've fought for meaningful change (even if McConnell would eventually block it in the senate). But they didn't. Thus, that is how the system lead to Trump. They didn't fight hard enough to push meaningful change, the American people felt it wasn't working for them, and they voted for someone who claimed he would fix the problems. And as they continue to not fight on important issues, Trump now thinks he's unstoppable. Way to go Democrats.

Pfft, can't even get a hit by the second day? Bunch of amateurs.

RIP. Didn't expect him to go so soon.
